Absolutely fucking disgusting. The GOP is the party of wife beaters, rapists, and Epstein cronies.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 8h agoMike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.
Also the Republicans were screaming that Fauci helped authorize vaccines for children, which is something every goddamn parent I know was praying for every day for more than a year and have been thankful for ever since. These people are all self-centered idiotic sociopaths, nothing more.

my feelings on this are pretty straightforward: if you have a problem with poor people having greater access to less expensive food then you’re a fucking psycho.
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · last wk.Weird how much discourse around the Mamdani grocery stores ignores the existence of the Green Cart intiative (launched under Bloomberg) that provides subsidized fruit and vegetable stands across the city under the exact same logic as the grocery stores
All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.
The reason Zohran scares the shit out of them so much is that they think this sort of technocrat FDR liberalism/market socialism will *work* and be popular, not that it will fail and be unpopular. They're afraid that he will be a good mayor not a bad mayor.
lowtax speedrun enjoyer@rickywlmsbong.bsky.social · 2w agozohran is a completely normal (mixed-market socialist/new-deal liberal/whatever) and it’s completely frying the brains of people with too much money or whose livelihoods are built on catering to the opinions of people with too much money
it's also weird how these types never seem to want to just roll up their sleeves and help. nah they want to lead and tell you what to do. hey assholes. this is largely a problem of your creation. sit down
this is a problem. solidarity and mass movements often involve making common cause with all sorts of douchebags. but it's also the fact that these guys are just temporarily homeless republican operatives. giving them money and eyeballs is probably counterproductive
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2w agoThe vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.
An all time touch grass heat check and people addicted to dumbass social algorithms will prob learn nothing
lol Threads banned the new Infowars. Silenced for TRUTH. Everybody go yell at them.
I still think about the WSJ scoop about the Epstein birthday book. The official Republican position, to this day and after unsuccessful Trump litigation, is that maybe someone faked his signature and put it in a book where everyone else's signature was real

the food safety stuff is another reminder that a large, huge, gigantic part of being a republican is going “lmao why are we spending money to prevent horrifying disasters from happening if they never happen 🤪”
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Another person dead at the hands of ICE — just days after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s murder. We will not remain silent as the Trump administration immunizes lawlessness. There must be accountability and there must be a full investigation.
ICE shot and killed a motorist in Maine. Advocates say he's a 26-year-old from Colombia
The motorist killed by ICE officers in a Maine shooting Monday was not the target of the warrant the officers were executing, Sen.

the sole purpose of originalists' preoccupation with history and tradition is reproducing historical hierarchies of oppression they are happy to discard history as soon as it doesn't serve that purpose I know I've told y'all this before bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
Anthony Michael Kreis@anthonymkreis.bsky.social · 3w agoThis is not going away, sorry to say. One of my friends has already questioned if he’s an originalist post-Barbara because “letting historical accident determine the answer to this deeply profoundly moral normatively significant question” is “a weird way to do law.” I do not jest.
Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:
When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.
lol two guys who are simply very cautious about offering opinions about people
